According to industry sources, a large supplier of OIS and autofocus actuators in South Korea has struck a deal with Apple. Last year, the US-based company visited Jahwa, and some believe the module maker OIS is spending more than $ 155 million to build a new manufacturing facility.
Given the size of the investment and the fact that Apple often asks its suppliers to build production lines just for its needs, it’s a strong indication that the two companies are starting to work together. Interestingly, Jahwa also provides OIS modules to Samsung.
The new camera hardware, which is believed to be used for telephoto lenses, will arrive just in time for the iPhone 15 range next year, starting production in the second quarter of 2023.
Now, while that doesn’t mean Apple has decided to include a periscope telephoto camera, it’s an indication that a more advanced zoom camera is in the works.
